Marvin was named the 2022 “Educator of the Year” by WMIA, which acknowledges organizations with a structured curriculum tailored to training individuals for careers in the woodworking industry. Marvin is recognized as being an advocate for the industry through its new Advanced Resource Center for Innovation and Education (ARC Center). In partnership with Northland Community and Technical College, Marvin opened the ARC Center in Warroad, Minn. in January, a facility which houses an accredited first-of-its-kind mechatronics program that follows a Competency-Based Education (CBE) model which caters to all learners, regardless of different education goals. The ARC Center also provides a Certified Production Technologist program for students in Warroad High School. Students can complete competency demonstrations with an instructor to gain credit for prior learning and are able to earn up to a two-year Associate of Applied Science degree or any number of certificates within the 60-credit program.
We recently hosted the official ribbon-cutting event for our new manufacturing facility in Fargo! This 127,000-square-foot facility will support our Modern product line and joins our new distribution center to bring continued growth to the Fargo and West Fargo area.
Employee reaction to getting a PAID WEEK OFF: -“This is amazing! It literally brought tears to my eyes. What amazing company and amazing leaders!” -"This is so kind and generous . My mind is already racing with thoughts of something special to do with this gift of time." -"You’re kidding, right? This is incredible!" -"Well I was not expecting that- I was thinking maybe a $25 gift card!" -“Scale of 1-10 that was a 20!”
We've been thinking differently at Marvin, and thanks to employee feedback, we're excited to announce a special employee appreciation gift. "Better Living Week" is a paid week off where we'll shut down operations so every one of our employees can rest and recharge.
"I am honored and inspired by the opportunity to serve Marvin in a new way." - Christine Marvin
We're growing. We're hiring. We're offering $20/hour. Come join our team!
"This partnership allows Marvin to be a part of the solution while providing a first-of-its-kind education opportunity to our community." - Peggy Anderholm, Education Manager, ARC
Congrats to West Fargo facility leaders and employees who received OSHA's highest designation for workplace safety.
“The time is now to grow and to really make a statement about our growth aspirations. Not growth for growth’s sake but because it allows us to secure a collective future. And we have a higher purpose than making money.” - Paul Marvin
